KEFLEX. Mainly skin and soft-tissue infections .... Worsening of symptoms in people with myasthenia gravis (possibly fatal). Vancomycin Some Trade Names ...

without beeing able to get to the point where the interaction was mentioned...
Maybe someone else would be more successful?

The only antibiotic listed on that table with myasthenia interaction is Ketek.
Quote:
Telithromycin Some Trade Names
KETEK
Mild to moderate community-acquired pneumonia
Visual disturbances
Liver damage (possibly fatal)

I would however, urge you, Tyson to get to a doctor ASAP as you may have lowered platelets. Bruises like you describe need to be evaluated ASAP. If your platelets get really low, your gums will start to bleed alot also.
Depressed platelets can be a serious side effect from Imuran therapy.
